A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 312 2. The crowd dismounted in the mountains

It was the first time for Imagawa Yoshichichi to come to the capital, and he was also a rare figure among the guardian daimyos of the state to come to the capital in person. As soon as he arrived, he became the first key figure received by the shogunate.

In the past, Oda Nobunaga of Kamikawa was the guardian of Owari. When Teru Uesugi came, although he was confirmed to succeed the Kanto leader, he was still only the guardian of Echigo.

As for Onmyoichi Taishou Niko Haruhisa, Kyushu Tentai Otomo Yizhen, Kai's Guardian Takeda Harunobu, and Mutsu's Guardian Date Harumune, you can see which one has come to the capital in person.

There were quite a few people who came to Beijing with force, and they were guarding and leading a large group. Looking at it this way, it turns out that it was Imagawa Yoshichichi who was the only one who contributed to protecting the daimyo and personally going to the capital peacefully. It fully demonstrates the shogunate's magnanimity of now coming down from all over the world and moving in all directions.

Ashikaga Yoshiki counted it for several decades. First, the shogunate's crusade went smoothly, and the rebel villain Murakami Yoshikiyo captured Kyoto. Now, the guardian of Toe, Imagawa Yoshiuchi, came to the court in person. Such a glory of honor made Ashikaga Yoshiki feel overwhelmed.

Mibuchi Fujitaka and Isshiki Fujinaga were ordered to receive him. Now that the shogunate has control of Kyoto's trade taxes and its growing prestige, the contributions from various places are increasing. But be prepared to make a grand show to show your solemnity.

Koheita and Imagawa Yoshiuchi also heard about the previous treatment of Murakami Yoshikiyo. Our great, glorious and correct Muromachi Shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshiki once again demonstrated his principle of fairness, justice and openness. Murasaki, who was supposed to be sacrificed as a prisoner and then sentenced to death, decided to become a monk by guarding Yoshikiyo!

That's right, the reason for becoming a monk and going to Mount Koya was also very noble, to chant sutras and pray for the samurai family who died in Shinano.

Although Murakami Yoshikiyo has completely lost power, our Highness the General still did not kill him. In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, it is impossible to say clearly whether this is compassion or indecisiveness.

From Koheita's point of view, Ashikaga Yoshiteru had many opportunities to assassinate or attack Miyoshi Nagakei in history, but he missed various opportunities again and again. In the end, he was threatened step by step, so that he lost what little power he had left.

This man is really a wonderful collection of contradictions. He is determined, hard-working, and able to endure things that ordinary people cannot endure. He practices swordsmanship and is recognized by Yinliu.

But this person is not firm and always wants to achieve balance, differentiation, and equal treatment. Naturally, the result is that they are not human beings inside and outside, and those who are close to them in the end will become frowning.

Man is indeed a contradictory animal!

However, I don’t know whether Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn’t want to kill Murakami Takeomaru in the first place, or whether the intercession of Yamauchi Yoshiharu and Mibuchi Fujitaka worked. In line with the principle of not exterminating the famous family, since Murakami Yoshikiyo has lost four sons in one day, his bloodline will be preserved.

And in compliance with the wishes of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, Ashikaga Yoshiteru ordered Murakami Takemaru to return to Shinano and be managed by Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, the guardian of Shinano. By order of the shogunate, he became a retainer of the Yamauchi clan and was granted the title of Kuzuo 10,000 kan.

Naturally, Kuzuo was in the hands of Takeda Harunobu. Ashikaga Yoshiteru felt that Takeda Harunobu would listen to him, but how could Takeda Harunobu spit out the fat that he had eaten?

Wishful thinking!

After a few disputes were resolved, his buttocks were raised to the sky!

This order just gave Yamauchi Yoshiharu a legal claim to attack Takeda Harunobu. After all, he wanted to help Murakami Takemaru restore his old territory.

As for the credit for capturing Murakami Yoshikiyo, the first credit goes to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and we will discuss it later. Originally, they were going to send someone to escort Murakami Takeomaru back to the country and announce it as soon as they arrived, but now the large team of people from the Yamauchi family arrived just in time, so they didn't bother the two masters for the time being.

The two sides had a friendly exchange in a cheerful and warm atmosphere, and once again reiterated the principle that there is only one shogun in the world. The Yamauchi family firmly supports the feudal rule of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru. The two sides have reached a number of consensuses on the basis of enhancing friendship and mutual benefit.

When Koheita went to meet Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he was greatly praised. Because Murakami Yoshikiyo was captured alive by Heiroku under Koheita, Ashikaga Yoshiki heard the news and was ready to praise him greatly.

First of all, Heiroku was allowed to be listed as a member of the public without standing in the class, and secondly, he was given the official position of seven right-bei second lieutenants. In addition, he also had a pair of swords, a bow, ten golden arrows, a saddle, and a horse. A whip and a collar.

But Koheita's reward was more affordable. He became the royal swordsman of His Highness Gongfang who did not stand on duty. At the same time, he was guaranteed to play Zheng Shaobi from the fifth position. In the end, he got the world's best product - Dayun Dahai.

But the one who benefited the most was Yamauchi Yoshiharu. He got his wish and was promoted to the dismounted public!

Don't get me wrong, the Dismounted Soldiers are not the general's bannermen, such as Ma Tai. They are one of the highest honors of the Muromachi Shogunate's samurai nobles.

From now on, all samurai in the world, with the exception of a few who have "My name is Ashikaga" and "My name is Kira" written on their foreheads, all samurai, soldiers and civilians, big and small, must dismount from the sedan chair and horse when they see Yamauchi Yoshiharu, bow their knees and salute.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu is one step closer to the Ashikaga Ichimon Rianjizhu whom he has longed for, as if the shining name of Ashikaga Yoshiharu is waving to him not far away.

And if you are qualified to be called Ashikaga Yoshiharu, then you are qualified to aspire to the position of the pillar of the samurai family in Rakujing. What this means does not require too much explanation.

Although the once glorious title of Xiamazhong is now recognized by no one, it is an incredible name, and he is the second most famous person in the world.

When Imagawa Yoshichichi heard the news, he, who was deeply influenced by the samurai family, naturally knew that what his father pursued besides the territory was this kind of feudal status.

While shouting thanks, they worshiped respectfully and offered generous gifts.

Everyone is happy.

After the official business was over, Ashikaga Yoshiteru still had more to say and held a private cocktail party to entertain Imagawa Yoshichichi and Koheita.

Coincidentally, monk Jueqing is also in Kyoto. He has been very proud of his life since he inherited the legacy of Ichijoyuan.

Moreover, he still works as a fair-weather monk, drinking wine, sleeping with novice monks and female pilgrims, and living a happy life.

And since it was Xiao Pingtai who promoted his family background, he was very grateful to Xiao Pingtai. Now that he saw Xiaoping Tai, he was so happy that he toasted to Xiao Ping Tai again and again.

Xiaopingtai is naturally willing to have a relationship with him. In addition, there is an impressive monk next to Monk Jueqing today. Not to mention anything else, that 1.8 meter tall man was the first time Xiao Pingtai had seen him since time travel.

Seeing Xiao Pingtai constantly looking at his attendant monk, Monk Jueqing was also very proud of himself.

"This is Jingkong from Xingfukuxiaji Temple. He is a master of gold-breaking sticks. He is also from the Takeda clan in Yunzhou."

Kodaira turned his head and looked at Iwase Motomasa: "Tojiro, this master was with your family four hundred years ago."
